The Obsidian Drone

$25.00

Not every specimen asks to be admired from a distance. This one insists on it.

The Xylocopa latipes, one of the largest carpenter bees in the world, is suspended in a floating diamond display that lets light move through it from every angle. The deep black carapace shifts between matte and iridescent depending on how it catches the light, a quality that photographs poorly and rewards the eye that actually stops to look.

Suspended in a rotating diamond frame. No backing, no distraction. Just the specimen and the air around it.

Ethically sourced. Handmade in Portland, Oregon.

Features:

Specimen: Xylocopa latipes, Black Iridescent Carpenter Bee, Indonesia

Display: 2.76in floating diamond frame, rotates 360 degrees

Orientation: Freestanding display
